rsyslog não está registrando a mensagem do programa

Question

Estou tentando escrever (o começo) de um daemon no Ubuntu 15.04 e, por alguma razão, o rsyslog está se recusando a enviar minhas declarações logadas - tentei várias localidades (LOG_LOCAL1, LOG_LOCAL0, LOG_SYSLOG, LOG_DAEMON), reiniciei o serviço rsyslog e testamos o código em uma VM do Arch Linux (funciona bem).

Código da aplicação:

#include <syslog.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <cstdlib>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  setlogmask(LOG_UPTO(LOG_CRIT));
  openlog("floded", LOG_CONS | LOG_PID | LOG_NDELAY, LOG_SYSLOG);
  syslog(LOG_INFO, "floded entered");   
  closelog();
  return(0);
}

/etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf:

#  Default rules for rsyslog.
#
#                       For more information see rsyslog.conf(5) and /etc/rsyslog.conf

# The named pipe /dev/xconsole is for the 'xconsole' utility.  To use it,

daemon.*;mail.*;\
        news.err;\
        *.=debug;*.=info;\
        *.=notice;*.=warn       |/dev/xconsole

O que estou perdendo?

    

Answer 1

A linha setlogmask(LOG_UPTO(LOG_CRIT)) descarta sua mensagem de log

syslog(LOG_INFO, "floded entered");

A prioridade de LOG_INFO é menor que a prioridade de LOG_CRIT . Portanto,

#include <syslog.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <cstdlib>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  // setlogmask(LOG_UPTO(LOG_CRIT));
  openlog("floded", LOG_CONS | LOG_PID | LOG_NDELAY, LOG_SYSLOG);
  syslog(LOG_INFO, "floded entered");   
  closelog();
  return(0);
}

ou

#include <syslog.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <cstdlib>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  setlogmask(LOG_UPTO(LOG_INFO));
  openlog("floded", LOG_CONS | LOG_PID | LOG_NDELAY, LOG_SYSLOG);
  syslog(LOG_INFO, "floded entered");   
  closelog();
  return(0);
}
